Food Question

[stephic15]

I just got home from sailing with Monarch of the Seas. During the dinning room dinner on day one they served a Banana and Walnut Parfait. I was wondering if any of you guy remember what it was called? I loved it and would love to try and recreate it!

Raw eggs? Really? I hope they're using pasteurized ones. It's not baked/set before it's frozen?
